Answer: 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard Work Formula question (2 or more 'entities' that work on a task together). When there are just 2 entities and there are no 'twists' to the question, we can use the Work Formula to get to the correct answer.

Work = (A)(B)/(A+B) where A and B are the individual times needed to complete the task.

We're told that two hoses take 20 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively, to fill a pool. We're asked how long it takes the two hoses, working together, to fill the pool.

(20)(30)/(20+30) = 600/50 = 12 minutes to fill the pool.

A theatre collected $100 from all the 100 attendees in the audience. The prices of the tickets were $10 for adults, $3 for frien

You can write a system of equations, I'm pretty sure. 
the first equation would be 
10a+3f+.5c=100
and 
a+f+c=100

For the first equation, its the price of each ticket that adds up to 100 tickets
For the second equation, its the amount of people that adds up to 100 people.

I'm pretty sure this is the route to go but I haven't solved it for myself (yet) I'll probably comment the answer if you need me to

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The​ P-value method and the classical method are not equivalent to the confidence interval method in that they may yield different results ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

The False statement about using the confidence interval method when testing a claim about  μ when  σ is​ unknown is ; The​ P-value method and the classical method are not equivalent to the confidence interval method in that they may yield different results

This is because sometimes the values gotten from the p-value and confidence interval differs and this occurs mostly when the sample size is very small.
